Job Creation

Job Creation

class="headline">We will compete at a national and international level for job recruitment and retention.

The most important thing the local government can do in job creation is to provide for a safe and attractive community, maintain infrastructure, educate the workforce, and get out of the way of entrepreneurs. We must work together to create a city where both employers and employees want to live.

As Mayor of Tulsa, I will continue to make our city government responsive to the needs of employers and seek to cut bureaucracy that can stifle job development. While building on our bedrock industries of energy and aerospace, I will work to diversify our economy and will partner with the state, county and region to recruit and retain businesses which provide good-paying jobs.
